Big Sister

In a post prior to Neave's arrival, I wrote about how worried I was that I wouldn't be able to love another child as much as I love Emma.  Well, I must admit, now that I have two, my love surely has doubled in size!  It's incredible just how much we can love.  When I'm out of the house without both girls, which has happened quite frequently thanks to my wonderful husband, I think of Emma and then I remember Neave and I just feel my heart growing even larger.  It's amazing and so beautiful!  

Emma has taken on the roll of big sister with amazing force.  Wherever we go, she has to tell everyone that she is a big sister!  And boy, she tells it with great gusto!!! She is so proud of Neave, that it reinforces my belief when I first became pregnant I said that I was really doing this for her, than for ourselves.  It is so true!

Emma  wants to help out in every possible way to make sure that her sister is happy. When the baby cries, she lets me know right away and is really concerned if I don't immediately jump up and run!  She picks out Neave's clothes in the morning and wants to wear something simiar so that they match!  She has become a little mother.

As an only child, watching this beautiful sistership transform is amazing.  I'm so lucky to be able to witness such love and adoration.
